介绍（中）	在 1857 年 8 月、9 月和 10 月的六个星期里，以在两年前克里米亚战争的决定性战役中获胜而闻名的法国帝国近卫军的 25，000 人在拿破仑三世的指挥下进行了演习，在马恩河畔沙隆建立了一个庞大的军营。勒格雷受委托拍摄营地、就职典礼和军官的照片。这些照片后来被装订成相册，并由皇帝赠送给他最高级的军官。这些巧妙执行的动作，如帝国庆典、宗教仪式和精心制作的娱乐活动，也是为了庆祝就职典礼，既是为了取悦皇帝和前来观看的数千名一日游者，也是为了提高部队。远离实战的混乱和陌生地形的陌生，步兵团和骑兵团在大约30，000英亩的平坦乡村上精确协调地移动。这支训练有素、装备精良的军队在清晨的薄雾中出现在地平线上，很容易被误认为是一个玩具士兵营。
介绍（英）	For six weeks in August, September, and October 1857, 25,000 men from the French Imperial Guard, renowned for their victory in the decisive battle of the Crimean War two years earlier, conducted exercises under the command of Napoleon III to inaugurate a vast military camp at Châlons-sur-Marne. Le Gray was commissioned to take photographs of the camp, the inaugural events, and the officers. The pictures were later bound in albums and presented by the emperor to his highest-ranking officers. The skillfully executed maneuvers, like the imperial celebrations, religious services, and elaborate entertainments that also marked the inaugural weeks, were intended as much for the pleasure of the emperor and the thousands of day-trippers who came to watch as for the improvement of the troops. Far from the chaos of real battle and the unfamiliarity of foreign terrain, the regiments of infantry and cavalry moved in precisely coordinated lines across some 30,000 acres of flat countryside. Silhouetted on the horizon in the early morning mist, this highly trained and well-equipped military force could easily be mistaken for a battalion of toy soldiers.
